Fallout: New Vegas vs FAR: Changing Tides
Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout: New Vegas is what many hardcore fans of the popular game franchise called a "spin-off" but even so, the game is incredibly well-done in terms of its gameplay and graphics. You'll get to experience a whole new "world" (the map of post-apocalyptic Vegas... a.k.a. New Vegas) filled with plenty of hidden secrets and interesting quests to discover. There is also a more intriguing connection between the characters in this game, allowing for an epic power struggle between factions to realistically play out... with some nudging of your own, of course.The game even boasts of a new features like a companion wheel so you can order your companion around in a smoother manner, as well as a weapon configuration system that may not be as in-depth as in Fallout 4 but it definitely paves the way to the incredible weapon crafting/customization system that the game uses today.
The most unfortunate part about this game though is that it's riddled with quite a lot of glitches - none of which are truly gamebreaking but they can be rather immersion-breaking. Nonetheless, despite being kind of like the black sheep in the family, Fallout: New Vegas is still a fantastic open world RPG with one of the creepiest Fallout DLCs (IMHO).
FAR: Changing Tides
FAR: Changing Tides is the highly anticipated sequel to the breakout indie game where you pilot a ship through a post-apocalyptic world. Solve various puzzles to move forward, manage your ship (and its fuel) the best you can, and simply sit back and enjoy a sublime experience exploring the world and discovering stories that the collapsed civilization left behind.FAR: Changing Tides is a worthy sequel to its incredibly well-received original. Featuring astounding new graphics, this game basically offers more of the same while allowing players to discover more parts of the same post-apocalyptic world, giving them the chance to tinker around with some new mechanics while solving puzzles, and providing them with a familiar yet unique enough experience.
It’s definitely a game that fans of FAR: Lone Sails would enjoy, but it’ll also work as a great introduction for new players diving into the FAR world for the first time.
